' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC PHILIP WAGNER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BRUSH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,506, dated May 29,1888.

Application filed September 22, 1857. Serial K111950375. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP WAGNER, of New York city, New York, haveinvented a new and Improved Brush, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a brush more particularly designed for use bylithographers, though it may be put to other uses.

The brush is constructed with a view to withstand the action of acidsand to presenta uniform or uninterrupted row of bristles.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fullypointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical central section ofmy improved brush on the line as :0, Fig. 2. Fig.2 is a plan view of thesame with the bristles removed. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of thetufts; and Fig. 4 is a section on line 3 3 Fig. l.

The letter (t represents the stock or head of a brush carrying thebristles. This head is provided at its forward end with a number ofsockets or holes, I) 1), extending from such forward end to an equaldistance into the head. The sockets are of circular shape incross-section, but are of such size and are placed so near together thateach socket opens into the adjoining socket or sockets, as plainly shownin Fig. 2. Thus one large socket is formed, in which each long side iscomposed of a series of short curves, forming the projections b.

The tufts o, properly bound, are introduced into the several sockets,and are secured in place by pitch. In this way the several tufts, thoughsecurely held, will be blended together above the edge of the head a,and thus a uniform body of bristles and a uniform workingsurface will beformed.

The back of the head a is provided with a socket, into which there isset the end of the handle d. The head and handle are preferably made ofwood, and they are made in separate pieces, so that the grain may runlengthwise in the head as well as in the handle. The head should besteepedinto asphaltum to better withstand the action of acids.

What I claim is-- As a new article of manufacture, a brush havingaseries of sockets opening into one an other, in combination with tuftsset into said sockets, substantially as specified.

PHILIP WAGNER.
